Toys R US is now Toys Were Us

[Kyle Barker]

Man I remember going into Toys R Us as a kid just to look at the toys.





Can't wrap my head around there being no Toys R Us.

THIS IS NOT BESOS FAULT. THESE STORES FAILED TO ADAPT. NOBODY REMEMBERS WHEN AMAZON TRIED PLAYING NICE AND THEY TRIED TO MUSCLE THEM OUT OF THE GAME.

AMAZON EVEN LET THEM SELL THEIR PRODUCT ON THE MARKETPLACE. THE REACTION? fukk AMAZON. LET'S MAKE OR OWN MARKETPLACE. SHOULD'VE CAME ON BOARD LIKE THE MOM AND POP SHOPS.

Damn... as a kid growing up in the 80's I will always remember the Toys R Us commercial below. When this commercial came on TV you knew it was almost Christmas time.

Bubbe used to take me to Toys 'R' Us every Friday after school let out.

I remember when I would get A's on my report card and my mom used to take me there and said get what you want.

It seems like everything I had as a child and teenager (Circuit City, KB, the mall) is going away.

Who needs toys when you can give your child a ipad/tablet and let them watch youtube all day so you don't have to do any real parenting

You cracked the 2018 cheat code.

Amazon taking over the world. It needs some real comp soon

 

[The Coochie Assassin]

The world isn't made for a kid anymore these kids got nothing but Instagram and Snapshot to play with...no wonder they end up like NBA Youngboy and Cash Me Outside white girl

I’m mad they closing because I bought a gang of stuff from babies r us. I’m talking nearly 900 dollars. I could have waited until the liquidation sale.

I can’t wait for those liquidation sales. I got a baby coming about to make a come up at in diapers

My mom would give my sister and I the big toy book before Christmas, and we'd circle all the stuff we wanted "Santa" to bring us.

The big book was epic as fukk. I called corporate in like 08 and got that shyt sent every year till last year

 

[Deflatedhoopdreams]

I fukked one of my ex's in the car of the parking lot of the Toys R Us about 7 years back in the day

Used to get all my X-Men toys at KB, they closed up and Toys R was the spot, but then I grew up


and now there aren't any X-Men toys or a Toys R Us anymore

I can’t wait for those liquidation sales. I got a baby coming about to make a come up at in diapers

Think I may get in on that, if they are crazy cheap, too.

It's sad that my son will never know the joy of walking into a toy store.

This really sucks as the selection of toys at Wal-Mart and Target sucks. For example Wal-Mart may have 3 Thomas the Train toys while TRU had an entire section for it. This is also going to hurt toy companies as well as even if people eventually purchased toys online they often saw the toy or toy line initially in a toy store. Is always check out a TRU to see what kinda new shyt was even out before buying something for my nephews. They are going to need to spend more on advertising now to get the word out about new products. Also Amazon isn't really that great either as when searching for toys you don't get a true sense of the quality or size by just looking at a picture, just check how many toy reviews mention a product being smaller or cheaper than they thought it would be.
